What Are 3D Acrylic Letters?
3D acrylic letters are dimensional letterforms with real depth, standing proud of the wall for a raised, sculpted look. Unlike flat-cut letters they carry a built-up body — solid, hollow, or fillable — and are the choice for storefronts, lobbies, and feature walls that need more presence than a flat letter can deliver.

Construction Methods
| Method | Build | Depth | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermoformed | Heated sheet vacuum-formed over a mould | 10 – 50 mm | Jelly / domed letters, hollow bodies |
| CNC carved (solid) | Carved from solid acrylic block | 10 – 100 mm+ | Crystal-clear, glue-mark-free look |
| Fabricated (build-up) | Face + returns bonded into a 3D body | 10 – 50 mm | Large dimensional letters |
Construction methods — thermoformed, CNC-carved, and fabricated.
Body Types — Solid, Hollow, Fillable
| Body | Weight | Illumination | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solid | Heaviest | Edge-lit, backlit | Most durable, carved from block |
| Hollow | Light | Face-lit, backlit | Acrylic face + return wall, open back |
| Fillable | Light | Face-lit | Thermoformed body, back-filled option |
Body types — solid, hollow, and fillable.
Finish & Colour
Polished, matte, and painted finishes in any Pantone/RAL color. Clear, translucent, and opaque acrylics in a wide palette; face and return can be different colors for a two-tone dimensional look. Illumination is specified at order time so we build the correct body.
Finish and colour options — polished, matte, painted, and two-tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are 3D acrylic letters?
3D acrylic letters are dimensional letterforms with real depth — not flat-cut — giving a raised, sculpted appearance on the wall. They are built as solid, hollow, or fillable bodies and can be left unlit or illuminated, used for storefront, lobby, and feature signage.
How are 3D acrylic letters made?
By three main methods: thermoforming (vacuum-forming a heated acrylic sheet over a mould), CNC carving from solid acrylic block, and fabricated build-up (cutting and bonding faces and returns into a 3D body). The method is chosen by the depth, finish, and illumination you need.
What is the difference between flat-cut and 3D acrylic letters?
Flat-cut letters are cut from a single acrylic sheet and sit nearly flush against the wall. 3D letters have a built-up body that stands proud of the wall — more depth, more dimensional presence, and the option of hollow or fillable construction. 3D costs more but reads as higher-end.
What thickness do 3D acrylic letters use?
Depth ranges from 10 mm up to 100 mm or more, depending on construction — thermoformed and fabricated letters are typically 10–50 mm deep, while CNC-carved solid letters can be thicker. We specify the depth against your design and viewing distance.
Can 3D acrylic letters be used outdoors?
Yes. We use outdoor-grade cast acrylic with UV inhibitors and weather-seal the bodies, so 3D letters hold their color and form outdoors. For coastal or extreme-UV sites we specify the highest-grade UV-stable acrylic.
What are solid, hollow, and fillable letters?
Solid letters are carved from solid acrylic block — heaviest, most durable. Hollow letters have an acrylic face with a return wall and an open back — lighter, and ideal for internal illumination. Fillable (thermoformed) letters are hollow bodies that can be filled or back-filled for a dimensional look.
